.SH NAME
std::filesystem::is_other \- std::filesystem::is_other

.SH Synopsis
   Defined in header <filesystem>
   bool is_other( std::filesystem::file_status s ) noexcept;          \fB(1)\fP \fI(since C++17)\fP
   bool is_other( const std::filesystem::path& p );                   \fB(2)\fP \fI(since C++17)\fP
   bool is_other( const std::filesystem::path& p, std::error_code& ec \fB(3)\fP \fI(since C++17)\fP
   ) noexcept;

   Checks if the given file status or path corresponds to a file of type other type.
   That is, the file exists, but is neither regular file, nor directory nor a symlink.

   1) Equivalent to exists(s) && !is_regular_file(s) && !is_directory(s) &&
   !is_symlink(s).
   2,3) Equivalent to is_other(status(p)) or is_other(status(p, ec)), respectively.

.SH Parameters

   s  - file status to check
   p  - path to examine
   ec - error code to store the error status to

.SH Return value

   true if the file indicated by p or if the type indicated s refers to a file that is
   not regular file, directory, or a symlink, false otherwise. The non-throwing
   overload returns false if an error occurs.

.SH Exceptions

   Any overload not marked noexcept may throw std::bad_alloc if memory allocation
   fails.

   2,3) Sets a std::error_code& parameter to the OS API error code if an OS API call
   fails, and executes ec.clear() if no errors occur.
